Families in Maryville, TN choose Maryville Family Orthodontics for care from a board-certified orthodontist and published researcher, Dr. Monica Ginart, who treats every patient personally from the first visit to the last. Add bilingual care, no-interest financing, and a warm, downtown Maryville office, and you have an orthodontic home built around your family.
There are several places to get braces in Blount County. What makes us different is not one thing, it is the combination: specialist expertise you cannot get from a general dentist, the continuity of a single trusted doctor, and a genuinely welcoming experience. Here is what sets us apart.
An Orthodontist, Not Just a Dentist Who Offers Braces
Many general and family dentists offer braces or aligners on the side. An orthodontist is different. Dr. Ginart completed years of additional, specialty-only training after dental school, focused entirely on how teeth, jaws, and facial growth work together. For anything beyond the simplest case, that depth matters, and it is why so many local searches for “the best orthodontist” lead families to a specialist rather than a general office.
A Board-Certified, Published-Researcher Doctor
Dr. Ginart is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics (a board-certified orthodontist), a voluntary distinction not every orthodontist pursues, and a published researcher with peer-reviewed work in her field. She trained at Cornell, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and the University of Iowa. That is an unusually strong background for a community practice, and it means your care is grounded in genuine expertise. Meet Dr. Ginart.
One Trusted Doctor, Start to Finish
We are a single-doctor practice on purpose. The orthodontist who plans your treatment is the one who sees you at every visit and finishes your smile. You are never handed between rotating providers, and Dr. Ginart gets to know your family personally over the course of care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right orthodontist is about more than just straightening teeth, it’s about finding a team that makes you feel comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout your smile journey. Here are answers to common questions patients ask about our approach to orthodontic care at Maryville Family Orthodontics.
Should I see an orthodontist or my dentist for braces?
For anything beyond very minor movement, an orthodontist is the specialist. Orthodontists complete years of training focused only on moving teeth and jaws, so they are equipped for the full range of cases and complications, which a general dentist may not routinely handle.
What makes an orthodontist worth choosing over a chain or a general office?
Continuity and expertise. At a single-doctor specialty practice, the same board-certified orthodontist knows your case from start to finish, rather than passing you between providers, and brings specialist-level training to every decision.
Do you treat the whole family?
Yes. We are a family practice, caring for children, teens, and adults, from a first age-7 checkup through adult treatment, all under one trusted doctor.
